My Dollies

Thursday, January 24, 2008

I have been trying for several days now,to get some good pictures of my latest dollie,and have been unable to because of overcast skies and rainy days.I was finally able to get some pictures today.I had the hardest time I think I've ever had,getting decent photographs of a doll!She did not want to cooperate at all!

Her hair is a hoot!I needle~felted it in place,and gave her some lovely braids at the sides of her head.I topped it off with a bun on top.

She holds a little Valentine box that I made.It holds a tiny surprise inside...a little Frozen Charlotte that I made for her!

A dollie with a mind of her own...can you POSSIBLY imagine that???Well,for a couple of weeks now,I have been going over my next doll that I will be making.I THOUGHT it was going to be a Maggie Bessie style doll for Valentine's Day.When I was making her pattern,I was careful to make her a very round head like a Maggie Bessie would have,but things just didn't work out that way.Here is an example of an authentic Maggie Bessie doll~

Here is the way that my dollie decided to turn out~

I had everything all worked out,the type of dress she would wear,fabrics,hair color,etc.As you can see,she would have none of it!She has been telling me all evening her precise wishes.I will do my best to accommodate her!~Stay tuned...

I don't know about you,but I just adore Valentine's Day!It may be something to do with the fact that all of the stress of Christmas is over,and the promise of a new year is fresh in our minds.It is such a sweet,simple holiday,and I just love it!I wanted to share a few pics with you of my Valentine Queen that I made.~Here is a sneek peek!

I have given her a set of pantalettes with hearts~

~And she has her own set of Valentine cards

~I made a few little Frozen Charlotte Cupid's last year,but I had to keep one for myself!
